Ducati and its managing director Claudio Domenicali they are not ready to launch yet today a motorcycle electric. But they are preparing to study the matter in depth, to land on the ‘battery’ market with a model capable of offering everything that the brand usually offers: speed, presence of mind, design. Less, of course, the sound.
“The goal is to develop skills and technologies in a constantly evolving sector, through an experience like that of competitions that we are familiar with. We will arrive on the market with a completely different product, according to our tradition. Thrilling. Badass. On the track we will be able to test ourselves, experiment, change batteries and engine cooling, evolve. Getting to grips with riders who have demands and need for high performance. We will come to an electric motorcycle with the performance of a Street Fighter. In the beginning the user will have to spend a little more. But it will have incredibly more: a motorcycle powered by electricity. The world is moving in this direction: do a few things, do them well. It seemed appropriate to start with the part most suited to the brand: one day, when the technology will be developed, we could also think of a scooter to complete our offer. As long as it is performingDomenicali told Repubblica.
But what exactly does the Ducati brand want to offer to differentiate itself from the ‘born’ electric motorcycle manufacturers? And how will they organize the work to get to the so-called top of the market? “We want something exciting, light. For a broad development we will never arrive before 2025, at the latest by 2030. It depends on the development of the energy density of the batteries, it is the crucial point. There is a specific contact with Porsche, which has created a joint venture with a manufacturer to develop particular chemistry of high-performance batteries. We find ourselves with them and Lamborghini colleagues, who in turn are making 2 hybrids»Replies the managing director of Borgo Panigale.
